History

proclaimed to be a subject of history. History by definition has occurred in the past, comprising individuals or an entire society. To obtain a better understanding of the relationship between these three interconnected periods, it is important to recognize that history is derived from the past. However, in our daily lives we learn new perspectives from our successors who are creating history. That being said, the people who have been known to have influence in history have significance or relevance

When we start researching, it seems like our family history will be a never-ending tapestry of people and events. New lineages spread out in all directions and exciting connections with history and with other families are discovered. The numbers of different lines of family which can be researched, and the diversity of their lives and experiences, seem to offer vast opportunities for storytelling. Gradually, we add new knots and threads to the tapestry to create pictures, sometimes vague and sometimes

to turn back the hands of time and change or rewrite history. However, the truth of the matter is that we simply cannot. Everything happens for a reason, and we should learn to accept it. Accept it for what it is, rather than what we would like it to be.      However, to often in Hollywood the city of glamour and glitz, fortune and fame, movie producers have a tendency and even feel at liberty to rewrite American history. In my opinion this is all done out of greed. The movie

posed the idea that Wilmington was and is a safe haven for individuality and uniqueness. Introduction to Public History gave me an overview of each of the comprising elements. Exploration of the individual aspects of Public History. As a part of the course I conducted a recorded thirty-minute interview with a Professional in the field. I transcribed the interview as Oral History for a portion of my final grade. Moreover, for the final project in this course I was to conduct research on a

I agree with the quote “history is written by the victor” (Winston Churchill) as it is something true about history. Not only do the victors get to write history but they also get to hide or even eliminate some or all of an event. The victor is the one who ultimately gets to burn the other side’s history, their knowledge or discoveries, libraries, and their culture. The victor will most likely enslave or execute the loser bringing their buildings, towns, and cities down to the ground. An example

sense of history is about acknowledging that Australia already had a history long before European settlement, or ‘colonisation’, in 1788. It is about acknowledging that the Australian continent was not ‘terra nullius’, an empty, uninhabited land. It is about recognition and taking ownership of the history of Indigenous Australians, and also about looking at the chain of events, since colonisation, from their perspective. Up until the late 1960’s it was celebrated that Australia’s history was uniquely

1.The history of Serbia is a non-fiction history book published in 1917, during the Great war. A war that was started in the Balkans from a Serbian national Yugoslav nationalist. As the Balkans was considered the powder keg of Europe at the time.The Author was British historian H.W.V. Temperley who fought in Great War in Turkey before publishing this work, so it is likely that he had some curiosity to the people who ended up causing at that time the deadliest war in history. Being a historian of

The poem “History Lesson” reveals the reality as both past and present by poetically comparing one photograph to another from former age. The poem shows time progressively from the time beaches were segregated to desegregated beaches indicating progress. In the beginning, it appears to be just a simple memory of a woman being 4 years old on a beach with her grandmother. Towards the end of the poem the older photograph has a sign marked “colored” a reminder of the cruelties of Jim Crow laws. It shows

Do You Know About Past American History? “A people without the knowledge of their past history, origin and culture is like a tree without roots”(Marcus Garvey). I think that this quote is a good example of people today. A lot of people need to learn about our past history if they haven’t yet already. You need to learn our past history because we need to learn of our past wars, how far our country has come since 1776, and for people to show our Veteran’s and soldiers more respect. These

This week’s reading assignment was The End of History by Francis Fukuyama. I thought that it was a great essay that displayed the concerns on ideologies that rise and collapse such as autocracy, fascism and communism, and he proposes that history should be observed in terms of a conflict of beliefs that has reached its end in the universalization of Western liberal democracy. Fukuyama does argue that the western liberalism has triumphed even though it is still in process of materializing in the world
